Submarine pitchers are throwing hope at the Olympic baseball team, which has been criticized for not having a certain ace. Pitchers Ko Young-pyo, Choi Won-jun, and Han Hyun-hee are raising expectations with successive good pitches.

Ko Young-pyo, who returned to KT after completing his military service last year, is the most stable starting pitcher this season.
In 13 appearances, he lasted more than 6 innings in all, and 12 of them stopped by 3 runs or less.
He has the best groundball induction ability as a native starter and perfect control to record the lowest walk ratio.
A starting pitch is most likely in the most decisive match between the United States, Mexico and the Dominica, where submarine pitchers are unfamiliar.

The power of Doosan's Choi Won-jun, who has the lowest ERA for a native starter in his seventh consecutive win this season, is also not strong.
Since he served as a relief pitcher until the middle of last year, he is expected to play an all-weather role in the Olympics, where 10 pitchers must play a maximum of 8 games over 10 days.
Kiwoom Han Hyun-hee, who is known as the best right-handed hitter in Korea, is expected to play a key role against teams with many right-handed hitters.
Submarine pitchers are raising expectations on the Kim Gyeong-moon, where there are no overwhelming aces such as Ryu Hyun-jin, Kim Kwang-hyun, and Yang Hyun-jong.
